Boundaries

I found this statement so simple and yet so profound.....

"Boundaries actually *inspire* creativity." (Daniel Schwabauer)

He gave a 60 second writing exercise, first with no boundaries (write about "anything") and then again, giving something specific to write about. Having boundaries, it was easier to think about more to the story!

He was speaking in regards to writing, but his statement can really apply to just about anything, even parenting. We have to set limits for our children, but inside those boundaries, my children are FREE to be who YHWH created them to be.

Wow! Think about that! As believers, we all have boundaries, and that is the Torah (because sin is breaking the Torah - 1 John 3:4, and YHWH never changes - Mal. 3:6), but as long as we stay within those boundaries out of our love and respect for our heavenly Father (John 14:15 - just like when children obey their parents), we are FREE to be unique and set-apart for HIM!

And honestly and truly, I have never been more FREE in my life, because now I KNOW where the boundaries are! HalleluYAH! \O/
